In the party room, at the news of the death of the gold pass, I’m told one MP joked “we will all have to get corporate sponsorship”.

I'm guessing that won't be a joke in the Libs for much longer. I'm wondering who the hell else is going to be in BACP? There doesn't seem to be a very public backing for Cory so far. https://twitter.com/TomMcIlroy/status/828797928068177922

How long until Bernardi has a meltdown that he's getting no press coverage (FAKE NEWS) since he's no longer relevant? I mean, give it a couple of weeks to die down but after that he might as well be Malcolm Roberts.

He'll get even less coverage than Roberts, because he's not insane, just a massive fuckwit.

MR BERNARDI WHY DO YOU AND OTHER PROMINENT CHRISTIANS REFUSE TO CONDEMN THE CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE PERFORMED BY YOUR CHURCH? EDIT: WHEN ARE WE GOING TO INCREASE MONITORING OF CATHOLICS TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN?

He won't be because his vote is going to be critical as a crossbencher. There is literally at best a 3 vote margin right now for any legislation and it won't be much better when the two vacancies are filled. If he can recruit, that could widen. I think the partyroom is going to be very fraught in the Libs from now on, it's an open threat, particularly given Abbott's role.

Well he'll keep getting headlines for talking about bestiality and banning burkas and so on. Unless he also has friends at a TV show I don't see him approaching One Nation levels of coverage unless he starts getting some other high profile (former or current) politicians on board.

Is Bernardi actually the man of integrity this paints him as? It fits with his stated reason for leaving but I really have trouble believing anyone calling homosexuality a slippery slope into bestiality is doing anything other than pandering. Have I got it wrong and this guy actually believes in democracy and is just a tosser about some issues?http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-opinion/inside-story-how-a-conversation-with-tony-abbott-sealed-cory-bernardis-liberal-party-exit-20170205-gu6600.html posted:Bernardi first sensed a problem in 2009, when during a heated and divisive partyroom debate on whether the Coalition should support Kevin Rudd's emissions trading scheme, one of his colleagues, the now deceased West Australian MP Don Randall, rose to his feet and said: "I don't give a stuff about the national interest, I want to get re-elected and this needs to go away."

He strikes me as rather like that Labor guy who retired because the party would be supporting gay marriage. Principled, but a regressive fuckhead. If he was concerned with electability or his own career he wouldn't be spouting the abominable poo poo he does.

He's insanely self-centred and also fairly stupid, which leads him to be obsessed with ideological purity and to think he can be a leader for a movement that doesn't really exist.The Monthly posted:Cory is deluded,” says a Liberal Party colleague. “He is one of the least effective or important members of the parliamentary team. Cory is a person without any intellect, without any base, and he should really never have risen above the position of branch president. His right-wing macho-man act is just his way of looking as though he stands for something.” quote:Sinead, with whom [Cory] has two sons, aged ten and 12, says they have the perfect marriage because they’re “both in love with the same man”. “Cory obviously has this huge belief in himself … If you didn’t love a guy who was so in love with himself you’d have a lot of trouble living with Cory. Life – I don’t think he’d mind me saying this – it’s all about Cory. I am all about Cory, and he is all about Cory, so it makes it easy.” quote:Some of his moderate colleagues are caustic about Bernardi’s role in undermining Turnbull and others on the small ‘l’ side. One colleague calls him “disloyal and treacherous”, while another says he spends more time attacking those in his own party than the others. Some colleagues privately blame him for circulating a “poo poo sheet” before the 2007 election implying that an unnamed Coalition minister was gay. Bernardi categorically denies he had anything to do with it, adding he’s a “convenient scapegoat for those on the Left”. He has maintained a poisonous feud with fellow South Australian Christopher Pyne, who signed him up to their local branch in the 1980s before they acrimoniously fell out. quote:For a man who espouses “compassion, acceptance and personal integrity”, to quote his website, there’s also a pitiless quality to Bernardi. He calls asylum-seekers “welfare squatters” and condemned the government for flying survivors of the Christmas Island refugee boat disaster to Sydney to attend their loved ones’ funerals.

Bizarre that he likens himself to Trump when he clearly is just Australia's Ted Cruz. We already had a Trump, his name was Abbott and he was checked and now we're done with that poo poo. We've moved onto Australia's

But Palmer actually had some convictions. I mean his convictions are buried under a thick layer of insanity and self-promotion, but when it came to things like refugees he was better than the average.

The Before Times posted:absolutely. as far as I could tell, his supporters were very alt-right in their views and very anti-establishment. Exactly. Trump's success comes down to getting a lot of free media attention and to being seen as being a political outsider. Palmer had those qualities, Abbott never did.
